Facts about Food Cans All steel cans are recyclable All steel cans contain up to 25% recycled steel Recycling one ton of steel saves 80% of the CO2 emissions Recycling seven steel cans saves enough energy to power a 60 Watt light bulb for 26 hours Each household uses approx 600 Steel cans per year For every ton of Steel recycled Environmental Savings are: 1.5 Tons of iron Ore 0.5 Tons of Coal 40% of the water required to produce one ton 75% of the Energy needed to make Steel from virgin materials 1.28 tons of Solid Waste reduction of Air Emissions Facts about Food Cans
